  • @ceb2008love I'm pretty sure his intent was to warn of the dangers of ignorance. I don't think he was trying to attack those who willfully participate in political abstinence.

    In either case, he is correct about those dangers. It is one of the chief reasons America faces the economic crises that it does, and why the political realm is such a dirty sewage pit. There has been no accountability because there has been a stark absence of awareness.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with Father. There is too much ignorance when it comes to what is going is happening in the political realm.

  • Say, just a question.. And I'm not asking this to sound contriversial, hypo-critical or anything else. Its just a question that this video reminded me of:

    Are priests allowed to voice their oppinions about the different parites running?I was tole they were not allowed to, and I just want to know if anyone can verify or deny this statement...

    And no, father did not voice his oppinions about which party to vote for...So I'm not trying to start a huge argument...I just want to know the answer

  • Thank you, Father!

  • Do you really think that Jesus Christ would have been accounted right-wing in his days? Does anyone think he was left-wing? Or wasn't he a friend of all people?

    Anti-feminist? Do you think he was anti-female?

    Anti-drug? Didn't he turn water into wine?

    Strong military? That sounds more like Mohammed to me.

  • You can't box the views of Christ into categories like right-wing or left-wing.

    Take Pope John Paul II for example: he was conservative on moral issues but quite liberal on many social issues.

  • Good Video Father,

    Thank You!

  • Right On the money Video!

  • If you're Christian you have to be right-wing. It's as simple as that.

  • NO, if your a christian you must vote for things that Christ would want.  Sometimes the political agenda of an orthodox christian is left and right wing

  • That's right! Politics is not somethingthat eong in the robes of the Church

  • I really liked this video Father, it's not too long either...

  • Great insights! Father God Bless!

  • I liked the video. Well said.

  • I stay pretty well informed. It gives me a reason to yell at my TV.

  • Well said, Father. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about the appropriateness of religion in the public (political) sphere in a future video. (The Evangelical voters in 2004 election provide an interesting case in point)

  • What is your view, might I ask?

  • I cannot really articulate my full opinion in this small comment, but essentially I think there is nothing wrong with voting based on your morals or values (be they religious or otherwise). I think there may be some problems if religious candidates start applying their personal religious beliefs to all people of the country in the form of legislation/revisions to the Constitution. Given Father Jeffrey many good videos, I'm sure he would do justice to this crucial issue in American society.

  • I agree.

    Peace.

  • I pay attention to politics... it's depressing.

  • Great Clip Fr Jeffrey, wondurful words of Wisdom

    God Bless
